No matter how good or the kindhearted you are, you are going to end up being judged now and then just because you are a part of a city where people dominate more than politicians. Independence, a city in Missouri, unlike its name, is not that independent of the transgressions and whatever happens here is kept within the boundaries of the city. The very first time this city’s news reached out to people was in August 2019. Let’s find out what was the news all about.
Independence, generally known as “Queen City of the Trails” has a population of nearly 120,000. This city played an essential role in the early history of the latter-day Saint movement. Apart from that, this city holds up a glorious past related to the Civil Wars.
Independence has one of the highest transgression rates in America with 63 per one thousand residents. Living in a city like this is not that easy. One has to live with the fear. Though people are trying to change the scenario but deep down, they are still living with this fear.
With that motto, a police officer named Joe Holt was sent for the patrolling the nearby area when the sky showered the heavy drops of rain. Holt halted at the nearest Hy-Vee store so that he could grab something to eat. While he was waiting for his order to come, his eyes stuck on an old woman trying to cross the road.
Joe saw an old lady struggling hard to find a shelter in the pouring rain. She was trying hard not to slip and was cautiously placing her footsteps. The police officer watching her from a distance could do nothing but hope for her safety.
